Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is the hydraulic application of seed blend, fertilisers, tracer dye, and proprietary binders over the topsoil using a cannon or hose mounted to purpose-built HydroRigs. Biologically-active soil conditioners and tackifiers hold the seeds in place and minimise erosive impacts of wind and rain.

Hydroseeding is faster than broadcast or drill seeding, it’s also cheaper than rolling turf. Unlike hydromulching, which is more suitable for revegetating disturbed lands that are difficult to grow on, hydroseeding is ideal for areas with a healthy topsoil layer and a good irrigation system.

Erizon is committed to delivering the best possible hydroseeding solutions. We believe that by working together, we can improve the environment, uphold sustainability and compliance, and maintain the health and safety of nearby communities.

Essential benefits

Saves Time and Money

Hydroseeding is a much quicker revegetation method than broadcast or drill seeding and much cheaper than rolling fresh turf.

Access Difficult Areas

Hydroseeding is versatile enough to work on flats, batters, and slopes less than 2h:1v. The hydraulic application using cannons and hoses allows us to reach steep and inaccessible areas or tight spaces.

Soil Stabilisation & Erosion Control

The binders in hydroseeding products act as a glue that stabilises soil and cushions the erosive impacts of wind and rain. It holds the seeds in place until they germinate and vegetation gets established.

Reduces the Growth of Weeds

Hydroseeding creates an effective natural weed repellent by producing thicker, healthier vegetation where there’s virtually no room for weeds to sprout.

How Hydroseeding Works

Hydroseeding is an effective way to revegetate large areas of land quickly. It is a scientifically advanced way to revegetate land compared to other conventional methods, including direct seeding and drill seeding.

Hydroseeding can be used to revegetate areas that are difficult and/or dangerous to access, as well as moderate slopes with the addition of a binder, making the task of providing erosion control for verges or soil stockpiles much easier. Binders form a hard crust and work to bind soil to the seed, preventing erosion, increasing water retention, and promoting faster germination of seeds. By establishing vegetation, hydroseeding can help provide long-term erosion control.

Hydroseeding solutions are best used in larger areas of quality soil. We determine the existing soil characteristics through a soil analysis to tailor the fertiliser used for the specific site, ensuring quality and long-lasting growth.

Our Knowledge And Expertise

Erizon has been a leader in revegetation and erosion control around Australia for over 25 years. We have a team of experienced agronomists and soil scientists dedicated to providing the most effective solutions for soil rehabilitation. When undertaking a revegetation project, our experts develop and implement a tailored plan that involves combining site-specific seed species with GoSeed and water to form a slurry. The resulting solution is then applied onto the surface using the appropriate hydroseeding equipment.

Using innovative techniques, we deliver exceptional results quickly and efficiently. We also apply our hydroseeding solutions with high precision and uniformity through our state-of-the-art HydroRig equipment.

The process

Tailor The Best Solution

We will work closely with you to formulate the best solution to address your site-specific needs.

Drone Survey

We will conduct a highly accurate and insightful 3D survey to map out the area of your site.

Even & Uniform Application

Our highly trained spray technicians will use the latest HydroRig technology to ensure an even and consistent application.

Site Monitoring

We will use state-of-the-art multispectral imaging drones to monitor the progress and health of the project, keeping project goals on track.
